Ilias: Perbedaan antara revisi

TheHambatan biggestterbesar issuedalam inusaha reconcilingmemastikan theadanya keterkaitankaitan antara pertempuran di dalam ''Ilias'' dengan tata cara berperang bangsa Yunani kemudian hari adalah falangs, atau hoplites, warfare seen in Greek history well after Homer's ''Iliad''. While there are discussions of soldiers arrayed in semblances of the phalanx throughout the ''Iliad'', the focus of the poem on the heroic fighting, as mentioned above, tampaknya berkontradiksi dengan kiat-kiat tempur falangs. Meskipun demikian, falangs memang memiliki segi-segi kepahlawanan. Pertarungan secara jantan satu lawan satu di dalam wiracarita ini diwujudnyatakan di dalam pertempuran falangs dengan menitikberatkan usaha untuk teguh bertahan di dalam byuha. This replaces the singular heroic competition yang dikisahkan di dalam ''Ilias''.<ref name=":6" />{{Rp|51}}

However, despite examples of disdain for this tactical trickery, there is reason to believe that the ''Iliad'', as well as later Greek warfare, endorsed tactical genius on the part of their commanders. For example, there are multiple passages in the ''Iliad'' with commanders such as Agamemnon or Nestor discussing the arraying of troops so as to gain an advantage. Indeed, the Trojan War is won by a notorious example of Achaean guile in the [[Trojan Horse]]. This is even later referred to by Homer in the ''Odyssey''. The connection, in this case, between guileful tactics of the Achaeans and the Trojans in the ''Iliad'' and those of the later Greeks is not a difficult one to find. Spartan commanders, often seen as the pinnacle of Greek military prowess, were known for their tactical trickery, and, for them, this was a feat to be desired in a commander. Indeed, this type of leadership was the standard advice of Greek tactical writers.<ref name=":6" />{{Rp|240}}-->
